Abstract

One goal of Artificial Intelligence is to enable the creation of robust, fully autonomous
agents that can coexist with us in the real world. Such agents will need to be able to
learn, both in order to correct and circumvent their inevitable imperfections, and to keep
up with a dynamically changing world. They will also need to be able to interact with one
another, whether they share common goals, they pursue independent goals, or their goals are in
direct conflict. This paper presents current research directions in machine learning, multiagent
reasoning, and robotics, and advocates their unification within concrete application domains.
Ideally, new theoretical results in each separate area will inform practical implementations
while innovations from concrete multiagent applications will drive new theoretical pursuits,
and together these synergistic research approaches will lead us towards the goal of fully
autonomous agents.
